Communities of Practice

AccessComputing hosts a Computing Accessibility Community of Practice (CoP) mailing list for those interested in accessibility in computing. AccessComputing staff regularly share accessibility and disability-related resources via the mailing list and CoP members can ask questions and share experiences that promote accessibility in computing fields.

The Computing Accessibility CoP helps computing professionals, faculty, k-12 teachers, and administrators as well as representatives from industry and professional organizations increase their knowledge about accessibility and make changes in computing departments that lead to more inclusive practices. Participants

gain and share knowledge and help identify issues related to the accessibility of computing education and employment;
discuss how to include accessibility topics in computing curriculum;
provide feedback to AccessComputing.
